Be sure that you leave room to move chairs around and walk behind them. If you re choosing low slung seating such as adirondack chairs don t forget to account for the extra real estate they take up. A fire pit itself is rarely bigger than four or five feet across and the patio space around it should be an additional six feet or so on all sides. I like to plan for about 5 feet around the fire pit for seating and access.

Lets say 4 for a sitting area and such. The exact height you choose for your fire pit will depend on how you plan to use it. So now figure how much room you want to have around the fire pit. If you plan to use the edge of the pit as a sitting wall you ll want it to be about 20 inches.
